My Personal Daily Space

People who start using groups, tend to really get into groups. So now you can add emojis, in addition to color, to more easily visually tell them apart.

Get a birds eye view perspective and jump around big spaces with the minimap by holding the space-key or the right-mouse-button. (You can also open a persistent minimap from the Sidebar)

Your spaces list now loads faster and spaces in the list won’t jump around after loading. Besides addressing some long-standing bugs, a stable spacelist adds to the overall feeling of speed and solidness

Improved Hiding Spaces marking spaces as hidden is now scoped to the user instead of the space itself. So if you’re in a group or a collaborator and you hide a space, that space will only be hidden to you (instead of hidden to everyone as before).

(should I add this to the browser extension too?)

Spaces open faster, cards updates faster, over the last two quiet weeks almost everything got oiled and tuned.

Before, when creating a new space you’d have to choose between creating a ‘normal’ space, or a ‘journal’ space. Now all spaces gain the flexibility to be more journal-like with date cards and the ability to append today’s date to the name.

Press B to Surround Selected Cards in a Box [New Quality of Life Feature]

Group related spaces together and share them with multiple people at once. Each Group member can see and edit all of the spaces in a Group. Use Groups for projects, teams, or like personal folders – it’s really up to you.

Adding support for copying boxes led to a deep reworking of the copy/paste system:

so now Kinopio can detect when your paste is just regular text from elsewhere, or when it’s Kinopio cards and boxes. Pasted kinopio items will maintain relative positioning, connections, and all attributes like colors, frames, etc.

When editing cards, the vertically aligned cards below will automatically adjust positions to stay aligned and prevent overlapping.
